腿面不红不肿痛极难忍 Tuǐ miàn bù hóng bu zhǒng tòng jí nán rěn
Shin not red not swollen but extreme pain difficult to endure
此症他人按之极冷，病患只叫腿热，此湿热伏于经络也。用马兰膏（见游风丹毒门）敷 之神效，或照游风丹毒各方治之。如病人不叫腿热，恐是附骨疽症，须辨别施治为妥。This syndrome others attribute to extreme cold, patient only [complains of] leg heat, this [is] damp-heat lurking in [the] Jing Luo[16] . Use Ma Lan Gao (see traveling wind red toxin section), apply for miraculous effect, or follow traveling wind cinnabar toxin formulas to treat. If patient does not [complain of] leg heat, [the] fear is bone flat-abscess disease[17] , must appropriately differentiate [and] execute treatment.
